Bits and pieces from the Crowd Scientists
Tip number two
A new post from my Tip series is well overdue. But before I get to it, I’d like to give you a quick update on some of our progress. We are getting closer each day at completely opening our doors to everyone who has signed up to Crowd Science Demographics. So stay tuned. And once again, we appreciate your patience.
Now, without further ado here is my next tip:
Tip Number Two: Making the most of your website classification.
Whenever you add a new website, we’ll ask you to classify your website content by selecting categories from our predefined “Category” list provided on the “Edit your Site” page. We recommend to review the entire list and classify your website appropriately to gather a richer data set. If there is a category you feel we haven’t covered, you can manually classify your website by adding keywords on the “Tags” section.
Depending on how you classify your website, our system will select three or four different questions that are topic related to show to your visitors within your core profile survey. For instance, if you select “video games”, we’ll ask questions about gaming (i.e. Which of the following game consoles do you currently own?). This will help you gain a broader/fuller picture of your audience, and their interests. We think it’s important to ask topic related questions on your profile survey not just to engage your audience, but to also gain a fuller picture of your audience’s thoughts and opinions on topic related areas that matter to you.
We are carefully filling out our library of topic related questions, which will be an ongoing task to keep our library relevant and comprehensive. So although some of you may not see topic related questions yet, still take the time to classify your website from the moment you sign up to take advantage of these questions as soon as they become available.
If you would like to review or edit your site categories or tags, go to your site Overview page and click on the “Site Settings” link to get to your “Edit your Site” page. And don’t forget to save any changes you make.
Hope this helps.
